utserver (uTorrent) Plugin for unRaid 5.0

Featured Replies

no change after those actions. it tries to go download the latest tar.gz for about 1.5secs and then changes to the error message I linked to a bit ago.

downloaded the tar.gz manually and extracted to /tmp/utserver, then anabled the plugin and everything is running. odd :/

I will change the way it is fetching the file. The way uTorrent website provides download link does not make it straightforward.

cool. thanks for your build/support efforts on this plugin.

  • Author

Try it out now. I added more error checking, hopefully it will work as supposed to.

"error: downloading failed."

  • Author

How could I not spot that before - I removed one line to much while refactoring and forgot to put it back. This time it should be fine.

Let me know if that is OK now.

Sorry for the trouble.

Nice work p4xel. I had a go at fixing the download/extracting problems only to find you have already solved them, and done much better as well!

Just installed this, I love it.  Thanks!

Any plans on updating to the 3.1 version.  That version has a remote feature, so one can add torrents via smart phone.

That depends on uTorrent developers. For now only ver. 3.0 is available. http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux

Yup you are right, I hadn't noticed that thought that the 3.1 was out for Linux too.

I am waiting for and update so I could test if the installation script would work properly, or so I could implement update feature. For now this version is working perfect for me. If you want remote access you can configure your router's port forwarding accordingly, althou it may not be very secure. You can also use VPN.

What I meant by remote access is that there is a utorrent app for Android.  This allows you to add torrents to the phone and it then sends it the unraid torrent client.

Ok then, I kind of didn't exactly get what you mean by remote access. For that we meet to wait for developers to implement this functionality in linux version.

I know I am missing something basic here but I will ask anyway. 

 

Installed and enabled in Utserver settings page but I am unable to bring up the GUI.  Configured install/temp directory on cache-only user share.  Tried default 8003 port and 8008 port.  http://tower:8003/gui  unable to connect.  utserver.log attached but looks normal i believe.

 

Any advice?

utserver.txt

This is just a guess but try taking the trailing / off your install directory.

 

Have you checked that it has actuall installed the files?

  • Author

uTorrent must have been installed, there wouldn't be log file otherwise. Show us a screenshot of utorrent settings page. Also let us see utserver.conf in installation directory. Try to access it by IP like http://192.168.1.254:8003/gui

Thank you for the response.  Attached is a config screenshot and utserver.conf

 

Accessing via IP had the same result.

 

I did a server reboot last night, and did observe the following, which may indicate I missing some kind of prerequisite.  Searching that out at the moment:

 

Starting utserver version 3.0 build 27079

/mnt/user/cacheonly/apps/utserver/utserver:  /lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by /mnt/user/cacheonly/apps/utserver/utserver)

/mnt/user/cacheonly/apps/utserver/utserver:  /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by /mnt/user/cacheonly/apps/utserver/utserver)

utserver.conf

The error saying no version available should never be the issue, its simply the logger trying to show what version of the lib you are running. The message saying its required is referring to the lib itself, not the version.

 

My plugins that use git have the same error but it does not affect the actual usage. I suspect your problem lies elsewhere

 

EDIT: I should say should never, but MIGHT be. It is possible that utserver is catching the output and failing because of that message, id think it unlikely. Someone else can check their log to see if they get the same

Looks like utorrent is installed and starts. Try to check if the daemon is really running - run

ps aux | grep utserver

As there is an option for peer SSL connections it may fail to start due to missing SSL library.

If you have unMenu, go to pkg manager and install openssl. Otherwise I may include openssl dependency in next plugin release to avoid the problems. I will test the issue on my box tomorrow (by disabling openssl) and will confirm if it is required or optional.

 

EDIT: I just did a fresh unRaid setup (5.0-rc5) and installed just utserver plugin on its own and it works fine. That means it doesn't require any dependencies. Please delete all files and directories associated with utserver, restart yout server and reinstall plugin. Don't precreate any directories prior to installation, or if you do - check permissions for nobody:users. Try placing utserver and temp directly on cache drive (in your case /mnt/cache/cacheonly/apps/utserver), creation of 'cache only' share is a way to prevent mover script from transferring it onto the array, and avoid trick with dotted dorectory (like /.apps).

Last thing - what version of unRaid are you running?

Out of town for a few days and finally had some time to mess with this.  I am still running rc3.  Deleting all files/directories, restarting server, and re-installing plugin did the trick. 

 

The only difference I could identify was your suggestion of not precreating directories prior to install.  I did indeed precreate the directories previously and did not think to check permissions.

 

Thank you for all the input and work on this plugin!

You need to set Temporary directory. Placing it on cache (if you have it) is recommended.
